I’ll be sitting in the same place with 5/5 signal and 4G internet. Then suddenly no signal at all. Then 2/5 signal and no internet. Then 1/5 signal and E internet. All within 10 minutes while sitting in the exact same spot.
Why? Why does this happen? Thanks!

Phones also use algorithms to maintain signal but also to regulate battery usage. If signal is high in the area, they keep transmission boosting low. If the signal is low, it will consume more power.
The signal from the antenna isn’t just a steady stream. It comes in waves, your signal depends on what those waves hit on the way to your phone and back again.

3. There may be interference near the local tower, making you connect to a more distant tower.
